staining on tile grout - TilersForums.com

I have light grey grout in between my bathroom tiles. There is a dark stain on the grout close to the toilet. Does anyone know how this can be removed? I have tried Jif cream but no notieable difference.

Is it a stain or is it damp? Damp grout will usually look a darker colour. If it is damp you will need to investigate why it is always damp.

Am pretty certain it is just a stain as the marks have spaces between the marks.

I could hazard a guess grumps, its the base of the toilet afterall :lol:

Just dont get too close to the damp patches when investigating.

Use Aquamix Enrich & Seal and then the grout will all be the same colour

You sure Kev? I wouldn't be too sure myself without knowing the nature of the stain and at least trying to ascertain what caused it. Enrich & Seal may darken the grout but without seeing how dark this stain is, I wouldn't promise that the resulting shade will match.

99% Sure. Just keep adding coats of En & Seal til you get roughly the same shade! Grout drinks it Alternatively clean the stain and wait for the next one to happen IMO
